Merle is my first cousin but about fifteen years older. The Hingston family lived in Hawera but visited the Gerry family often. An early memory is of Merle with a tiny newborn daughter, Judith. How loving and doting Merle was to her newly-adopted little girl! I’m living in Alberta, Canada but it didn’t stop me from calling my dear “old” cuzzy every few months. My three siblings and I had a special love for Merle and Alec. We know that families are eternal and WILL meet up again.
With love and fond memories . . .
